Well, it's Monday and it's back to normality with a bump, it's going to be a day spent on paperwork.

I had a lovely couple of days away, although I forgot to take my camera. One of the highlights was a visit to The Weardale Museum. The attraction for me, was the mention of a tapestry. You can check out the website here, http://www.weardalemuseum.co.uk/tapestry.html, but if you're in the area, it's well worth a visit.

The Weardale Tapestry, is made up for five panels of free form embroidery, tracing the history of the area, and it's magnificent.

Also of interest, were the examples of Durham quilting, all done by hand. The stitching was exquisite. If you do get the opportunity, do go and see it.

I have had a lifelong love of crafts which started with being taught how to knit at a very young age. It didn't take long to realise that great joy and satisfaction came from making things. Even now, I get a thrill seeing something that started just as an idea, becoming a finished product, whether I make it, or teach someone else how to make it. ​
